Dispossessing Lionel Messi has proved nigh-on impossible for defenders down the years.

No player in the world is as good as the Barcelona and Argentina man when it comes to close control and weaving past opponents, not to mention nutmegs.

Any opportunity to put the ball through a defender's legs will be taken by Messi, who has humiliated too many players to count down the years.

A lot of his best goals for club and country have been solo efforts, such as against Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao and Brazil.

What makes Messi's style of dribbling so pleasing to the eye is the effortlessness in which he's able to send opponents the wrong way.

Rather than use step overs or chops, Messi simply uses body feints and flicks to give himself that extra yard of space.

It's a wonder if we'll ever see someone quite as talented with his feet as him.

Countless montages have been made down the years of Messi dribbling past players, but YouTuber Zizou has gone above and beyond with a video of 100 pieces of skill that "impressed the world".

Watching Messi embarrass opponents never gets boring.

Our personal favourite is No.4: the skill to destroy Jerome Boateng and then the dinked finish over Manuel Neuer during Barcelona vs Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

No one does it better.
